Fellows:

I'm experimenting problems with a call that I made to exec or system. =
The problem is that the script await for the function finish and that =
take's a lot of time.

I need a way to use those functions in order to continue without await =
for it.

Saludos Fraternales

Re: EXEC and SYSTEM delay

Well if the server your running on is linux based (and I haven't tried
this) you could try adding a nohup and background the task for example
rather than doing:

system('updatedb');

try

system('nohup updatedb &');

It should background the task and let it continue running even when the
php script finishes it's execution. Like I said I haven't tested it. As
a side note I used 'updatedb' in the example because it was the longest
running task I could think of off the top of my head and requires root
priveledges... You really shouldn't run your scripts as root. *A public
